Bio

Her short fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals and received a CBC Literary Award in 2002.

She was recently featured alongside Marina Harris and Clare Tacon in 'Coming Attractions 11', an OBERON press anthology which features three stories from each of three up-and-coming Canadian writers..."writers who are talented and topical and brainy and who reassure me verily about the firecracker future of the short story - Mark Anthony Jarman (editor)."

Her debut short story collection, 'The Sometimes Lake', was published by Thistledown Press in 2012, and shortlisted for a Saskatchewan Book Award.

Award-winning author Chad Pelley describes The Sometimes Lake as "... a fine balance of profound humanity interacting with the wonders of the world."

Sandy's current works-in-progress include a new collection of short fiction, a novel-in-progress that has received grant support from the Saskatchewan Arts Board and the Canada Council for the Arts, and a non-fiction, inquiry based exploration of Saskatchewan resident's narrative understandings of our peopled planet: 'A Listening Earth', forthcoming from Trueheart Press (Oxford) in 2015.
